Lumia 950 running Windows 10 Mobile in the Microsoft Store

If you’re planning to upgrade your phone, and you were thinking on getting one of the new Microsoft Lumia duo, then you can’t miss this new promotional offer. Currently, Microsoft is offering a free black version of its Lumia 950 when you purchase the bigger Lumia 950 XL.

The offer is available through the Microsoft Store in Canada, but those in the United States also qualify for the deal through the US Microsoft Store.

However, you must hurry, the promotional offer is only available for a limited time through May 1st, 2016, or as always while supplies last.

In order to qualify for the offer, you need to purchase an unlocked Lumia 950 XL, which will cost around CA$849 — or $649 in the US. When you make the selection, you will be given the choice to get a Lumia 950 (black).
